Cardiff Hotel Guide - Twmbarlwm Mountain hotels in Cardiff, United Kingdom.

"Clean room. Good green options. But very lumpy pillows- please replace them!"

"Very nice and relaxing great views"

"Good hotel, we stayed in a garden suite, and the bedroom was spacious, 2 comfortable chairs and a fab bathroom with separate shower, bath and 2 sinks. Liked the coffee maker as well as kettle and it had a fridge. Negatives: the pillows were really soft and they didn't have any other options. The main issue for me was breakfast: I had added to my booking that I was gluten and yeast free. However, the first morning it was not clear what of the hot food was gluten-free, and the chef came and talked to me to clarify. The bar menu has allergen information so why not the breakfast menu. Day 2, I really didn't fancy a cooked breakfast - so apart from fruit and yoghurt there was nothing I could eat. No gluten free cereal, crackers. The manager came over and said he'd never been asked before!!! Day 3, they had got gluten free porridge or granola. In this day and age I can't understand why there isn't more choice. "

"The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Fresh towels provided and tea and instant coffee.Shower was in a cubicle in the room itself,so you step out of shower into bedroom, its a very basic ,budget set up.Toilet is separate door. No sitting area only a plastic stool. I was on top floor right next to lift,a little noisy in corridor ,comings and goings and the lift pinging. The room was very warm but as its right on m4 you cannot have windows open as its so very noisy.Heating and cooling is centrally operated so you aren't in control. Truthfully the room was a little run down.Cigarette burns on windowsill, chipped paint and not all lighting was working(complicated switches). Breakfast was cold continental style ,ham cheese croissants ,cereals etc.Was ok. Coffee was nice. Staff all very friendly and helpful, lady on reception said I should have requested a fan.Ill know in future . There was plenty of parking but I had to park quite a distance from door so im glad I didn't have alot of bags. All in all a basic budget hotel in a very noisy motorway.Ok in an emergency but I wouldn't like to stay longer than 1 night."

"Basic and ok ish...communal small tv...not good for biz travellers"

"Excellent staff. Good restaurant next door. Good price. "

"Amazing as always. You can't find a better place to stay in the area."

"Fantastic break away, lovely hosts, house and area."

"Absolutely loved staying at the retreat. Danny and Helen are extremely welcoming, nothing is too much trouble (even helped to fix my car) ((be careful reversing in and out of drive, can be quite tight)). Beautiful view to wake up to, beds very comfortable. Welcome pack extremely useful and offered fresh eggs daily from their chickens. Local walks are beautiful. Within about 30-40 minutes drive from Caerphilly castle, Aberfan, Abergavenny, Pontypool, Cardiff, Barry Island and many other places of interest.Local pub (drive 5 mins) serves good food. Free WiFi in the cottage.My phone would lose signal in the valleys (Tesco mobile) but my friend's did not (not sure of their network).Highly recommend."
